Itinerary

  • Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine

    The spectacular tunnel of thousands vermilion torii gates is so famous and picturesque. These torii gates were offered by worshippers in appreciation of the good fortune they received from the deity enshrined here. Why don’t you, too, offer a prayer and change your luck?

    1 hour

  • Bamboo Forest Street

    The renowned bamboo forest with its subtle hues of green and the sun slanting through has an exceptional beauty. The rustling of the leaves and the creaking of the trunks softly swaying in the breeze have a very relaxing effect. It’s an experience that you shouldn't miss while being in Kyoto.

    1 hour 10 minutes

  • Kinkakuji Temple

    This famous Zen temple is an icon of Samurai culture. Although it is a very popular tourist destination, the unique sight of the Golden Pavilion is well worth a visit. You can get wonderful pictures of the gilded building and its beautiful appearance reflected in the pond.

    50 minutes

  • Kitano Tenmangu Shrine

    This shrine built in 945 by the emperor of the time enshrines Sugawara no Michizane who is god of academics, and many students come here to pray for successful examinations. It is also called Tenjin (god of the universe) as it stands right under the polar star when looked at from Kyoto palace. The main building is designated as a national treasure.

    30 minutes

  • Kamishichiken Kaburenjo Theatre

    There are five hanamachi (geisha) districts in Kyoto and one of them is Kamishichiken which is located right next to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. This district has fewer geisha houses and geiko and maiko, but the atmosphere around here is quieter and more relaxing.

    25 minutes

  • Nishiki Market Shopping District

    The Nishiki market, which has been popular with the people of Kyoto for 400 years, has 126 shops lined up in a 390-meter long street. Kyoto’s peculiar vegetables and pickles are sold and you can taste some. Let’s enjoy the walk while imagining the eating habits of the people of Kyoto

Great Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

"Gigi" was excellent! Showed us all the great sights, set up a wonderful lunch, and made sure we enjoyed at our pace. He would even make the extra effort to see what we had interests in to make the best of the day. Great picture taker, very easy to meet at the start point and made sure to make it an easy and comfortable process for our first time in Kyoto. Well done.

Worth an early start

Published on Jul, 2024

The tour was perfectly paced. We were able to see every part of Kyoto that we had hoped to see. Our guide Satomi was a cheerful and knowledgeable guide - we really enjoyed her company! It is really worth getting up early to miss the crowds.

Satomi-San aka best tour guide in Japan!

Published on Jun, 2024

This tour was a great glimpse of Kyoto we visited several temples and shrines without the hassle of the crowds. It made me wish our group was staying for more time! Going early in the morning was 100% worth it! Satomi-San made our tour 100000x more enjoyable she was patient, kind, accommodating and had great recommendations. As someone who grew up in Kyoto she has tons of knowledge and unique insights. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

My husband & I enjoyed an amazing day with Fuji-san in Kyoto. We saw everything we wanted to and more. He is very knowable and provided the important details of all the places we went to. He knew the most scenic places and also offered to take our picture together as well. It really was a magically day we will never forget! Thank you so much Fuji-san!

Amazing and delightful tour.

Published on Dec, 2023

We had such a great time with Seiyan San. The tours was amazing. Love doing the transit with buses and subway you get to walk and see the neighborhoods. The lunch place he took us was so delicious. One of our highlights for the trip to Kyoto.
